Not as Bad as "Monkey Jesus"

While the Ottomans eventually covered the Pantokrator mosaic, it continued to be visible until the 17th century. It was briefly uncovered by the Fossati brothers, who started restoring Hagia Sophia in 1847. This is the crude watercolor made when it was uncovered. pic.twitter.com/uwU1FzPTT9

Anniversary of the Inauguration of Hagia Sophia

When Hagia Sophia was inaugurated, Justinian was so impressed and excited that after he thanked God he is said to have cried ‘’Glory to God who has deemed me worthy of accomplishing such a work! O Solomon! I have vanquished thee’’ implying the height of the dome. pic.twitter.com/33AHlS09VY

#Onthisday in AD 537, the construction of the new church of Hagia Sophia was completed and inaugurated by Justinian I who supposedly exclaimed "Oh Solomon, I have outdone you!".

Tomorrow is the first official feast of St Sophrony the hesychast and theologian of Essex. I don't know why but I really feel a subtle, strong joy.

Holy monks should be venerated. But I have to ask, given certain developments within Greek Orthodoxy in the US -- do the Greeks have a crisis of holiness among the laity? Has activism replaced holiness? Who was the last lay person recognized as being worth of veneration by the Greeks? Are the monastics all they have? (And not even their "secular" clery, including their bishops who were once monastic, qualify?)
